Move file from temporary folder to current folder after file upload with node.js

Question

The node.js server code below allows the client to upload file to a temporary location.

var restify = require('restify'); var server = restify.createServer(); server.use(restify.bodyParser()); server.post('/fileupload', function(req, res, next){ var path_temp = req.files.file.path; console.log(path_temp); res.end('upload'); next(); }); server.listen(8000);

The uploaded file is stored at the folder location path_temp. How can one copy this file to the current folder of the node.js script being run?

process.cwd() will give you the current working directory of the node script. Checkout fs.copy — Dave Briand

Thanks to hints provided in the comments, here is the answer for my own question.

var restify = require('restify'); var fs = require('fs-extra'); var server = restify.createServer(); server.use(restify.bodyParser()); server.post('/fileupload', function(req, res, next){ var path_temp = req.files.file.path; var currentFolder = process.cwd(); var filename = 'filename.txt'; //up to you fs.move(path_temp, currentFolder + '/' + filename, function(err) { if (err) return console.error(err) console.log("file uploaded!") }); res.end('upload'); next(); }); server.listen(8000);
